Materials Data on Pr(BC)2 by Materials Project
PrB2C2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent C2- atoms. All Pr–C bond lengths are 2.81 Å. B is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent C2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.62 Å) B–C bond length. C2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pr4+ and three equivalent B atoms.
